The next morning of yesterday's Prompt - Sleigh
He woke up the next morning feeling all cosy and warm. It took him a moment to understand what was going on as the sleepy fog cleared from his mind. He was curled up in bed with someone. It was not his bed. He shuffled his head, craning his neck to get a better view of the face of the person he was tangled with. He drew in a soft gasp when he realised it was Remus. The entire night before, suddenly came rushing back to him. They’d kissed and then Effie had caught them in the sleigh, not that she realised that was what had happened. Then he’d laid awake unable to sleep, so he’d snuck into Remus’s bed.
Remus stirred, and his eyes slowly blinked open. “Hi,” He smiled sleepily at Sirius as he stretched around him.
“Hi,” Sirius was suddenly feeling nervous. What if Remus regretted it? What if he got upset that Sirius was in his bed? All of Sirius’s worries were quickly quelled when Remus opened his arms, dragged Sirius on top of him and kissed him.
They were very late going down for breakfast, but Effie didn’t mind, simply sending plates that had been kept magically warm of scrambled egg and bacon over to them and went back to reading her newspaper after wishing them a Merry Christmas.
“How much did you have to drink last night, Sirius darling? Because when I went to check on you, you were in Remus’s bed, sprawled over the poor boy. It’s a wonder he could breathe the way you were clinging to him,” She chuckled. “Oh, and Remus, dear, don’t be afraid to kick him out of your room if he ever does it again,” Remus’s cheeks flamed red as he nodded sheepishly to Effie. Sirius beamed, he loved it when Remus’s cheeks did that.
“You guys ready for presents?” Monty asked, popping his head around the kitchen door. Sirius’s and Remus’s eyes met.
“Presents!” They exclaimed excitedly in unison and shot up from the table and rushed into the living room where James waited, surrounded by piles of brightly wrapped gifts.
Remus timidly held out a small, neatly wrapped parcel for Sirius and moved to the pile James pointed out was his. Sirius put Remus’s present in his pocket, deciding to leave it until last.
They caught each other's eyes again, and the smile Remus gave him made his stomach swoop. He couldn’t wait until they were alone again.
